- Revert re-enable binary stripping and debuginfo boo#1210938.
go1.19 and earlier store pre-compiled packages in $GOROOT/pkg as
Go .a files which are not ar archives. These .a are incorrectly
passed to strip by brp-15-strip-debug. strip incorrectly modifies
Go .a files rendering them invalid. Some Go applications fail to
build with "reference to nonexistent package" errors.

* go1.19 and earlier store pre-compiled packages for the standard
library as .a files under pkg/GOARCH[_{dynlink,race}].
* Go emitted .a files are a Go specific format, not ar archives.
* go1.10+ stores recently built packages in build cache GOCACHE.
These are separate from the installed packages in $GOROOT/pkg.
* Go build cache objects use a different file format than Go .a.
* go1.20+ switches to the GOCACHE for both recently built
packages and the installed packages in $GOROOT/pkg.
* Current versions of readelf detect Go .a files correctly, e.g.:
readelf -d /usr/lib64/go/1.19/pkg/linux_amd64/bytes.a
File: /usr/lib64/go/1.19/pkg/linux_amd64/bytes.a(__.PKGDEF )
readelf: Error: This is a GO binary file - try using 'go tool objdump' or 'go tool nm'
* binutils strip as of 2.40 detects Go .a files correctly, but
incorrectly modifies the .a files altering path resulting in
"reference to nonexistent package" errors.
* brp_check_suse/brp-15-strip-debug passes files to strip based
primarily on the file extension including .a.
